The Namibia national football team, nicknamed the Brave Warriors, is the national association football team of Namibia and is controlled by the Namibia Football Association. They have never qualified for the World Cup but have made two appearances in the Africa Cup of Nations.
[edit] History
Namibia played its first international under the name South-West Africa on 16 May 1989 at home against neighboring Angola and lost 1–0. On 23 March 1990, only two days after gaining independence from South Africa, they hosted neighbour Zimbabwe and lost 5–1. On 7 June they lost a home friendly 2–1 to Mauritius. Namibia's first ever away matches were played in Lesotho, where they lost 2–0 to their hosts on 1 August 1992, and then gained their first ever draw in a 2–2 game against the same opposition the very next day. On 17 May 1998, Namibia played their first match outside of Africa and against non-African opposition, losing 2–1 in a friendly in France against Saudi Arabia.[1]
